When a Tree Falls: Nurse Logs and Their Incredible Forest Power
Kirsten Pendreigh
A forest tree provides places for living things to grow, rest, and shelter until it falls. The book explains how its fallen trunk can continue to sustain the woods as a nurse log. The log supplies a nutrient-rich place for seedlings, shelters small animals, and hosts different plants. As a new tree grows from this support, the story follows an ongoing forest cycle in which one tree’s end helps make new life possible.
